Main Course -- Celery Burgers

2 pounds lean ground beef (we actually use ground venison)
5 to 6 stalks of celery
Salt and fresh ground pepper
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Hamburger buns and fixings

Put ground beef in a large bowl. Chop celery very finely (the smaller the celery pieces the better the burgers hold together while cooking). Add salt and pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Mix ingredients well. Form patties and cook over medium charcoal grill (or gas grill if you must) until done. Serve on buns with condiments.

The Skinny: The celery adds volume to the burgers and cuts down on the amount of fat and calories in each burger ... it also adds a nice flavor to the burgers. If you are having trouble with the beef/celery mixture sticking together as patties, add one beaten egg to the mix.

Crunchy Red Cabbage Salad
(Makes 2 big bowls)

1 cup white vinegar
One quarter tsp. dry mustard (We used a little more)
One quarter cup sugar 1 red cabbage shredded
1 large onion diced finely
2 sticks finely chopped celery
1 tsp. celery seeds
One half cup chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup sour cream
One quarter cup olive oil

Heat 1 cup white vinegar, 1/4 tsp. mustard and 1/4 cup sugar to a boil. Combine remaining ingredients and divide between 2 large bowls. While vinegar mixture is still hot, pour over cabbage mixture and mix well. Place in refrigerator in an enclosed container for 24 hours before using. Keeps well for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Salad is crisper after 48 hours.
